Lene Lovich (born March 30, 1949) is an American singer, songwriter and musician of English descent based in England.
Born in Detroit, Michigan, Lovich moved to England at the age of 13, where she met the guitarist and songwriter, Les Chappell, who later became her long time music collaborator and life partner. She developed an interest in art and theater, enrolling at the Central School of Art and Design where she took saxophone lessons.In 1975, she joined the band The Diversions and shortly afterwards wrote the lyrics to Cerrone's single "Supernature". After the band broke up, Lovich started looking for another band that would let her join and contacted the radio presenter Charlie Gillett, who got her to record a demo of Tommy James and the Shondells' song "I Think We're Alone Now" and played it to Dave Robinson of Stiff Records, who decided to sign Lovich. The song was released as a single and appeared on her debut studio album Stateless (1978), which produced the single "Lucky Number".
“No Man's Land” is the third studio album by Lene Lovich, released on November 13, 1982 by Stiff Records. It is her last album to be released on the Stiff Records label. The album is produced by Lovich and Les Chappell. It contains songs from her previously released extended play, “New Toy”, since the album was planned to be already released in 1981, but was postponed following the disagreements with the record company.
